WOT on an Excal/Pros and cons?

[Parkerized]

I'm thinking about getting a WOT for my Excal. Mostly beach hunt,so drag in the water is no biggie.From some of you folks who have had 'em (Max) what are some other pros and cons? Weight, sensitivity,etc....

Also can you use a Stainless bolt on the coil to rod connection on an Excal? My Nautilus uses one , and seems fine.
Thanks,

Where do you guys get the wot? And is that the only coil that you can use on the excal or can you use one of the SEF coils?

WOT is made by Coiltec, the original maker of all Minelabs coils. Most on line stores have it, Kellyco does not, not sure if they can order it. They have an entire line of SEF Butterfly coils for the Minelabs.

There is a line of SEF coils that will work on Minelabs. I have the 15" x 18" SEF butterfly coil for one of my Sovereigns GTs, I found a gold ring and silver ring the first time I took it out, but it is heavy. Since I use a harness the weight is not a problem, but I would not want to hunt with out a harness for very long. It is a good coil and a lot better then the old EXcellators.
